[Blog Tour + Review + Excerpt] King of Hearts by Irish Winters

Title: King of Hearts (Deuces Wild Book 1)

Author: Irish Winters

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: November 24, 2016

SYNOPSIS:

Tucker Chase. FBI agent and tough-as-they-come ex-Navy SEAL, Tucker’s take-all-comers attitude attracts trouble on the job and off, but he still gets the hard jobs done.He makes no bones about being the baddest ass on the planet—until his ex-wife runs off to Vietnam with his only son. Until the woman he won’t admit to loving leaves on some humanitarian mission to who knows where.

Until he has to ask for help…

Melissa McCormack. Widow to one of America’s finest USMC war heroes, Melissa is everything Tucker isn’t. Sophisticated. Wealthy. Respected. Don’t forget celibate since Brady, the first love of her life, passed away. She wants Tucker as much as he wants her, but not if she ends up like that elite rifle he totes, the one he could field strip in his sleep without thought or care.

Tucker stared at his fellow agent, his mind caught between two hellish firestorms and two impossible decisions. His eleven-year-old son on one side, the woman he loved on the other.And there it was, the eternal dilemma of every hard man with an impossible job to do, whether as a SEAL, an FBI agent, a police officer, or a fireman. Do I stay or do I go? Who do I save? The men who would die for me, or the family sitting safely back home waiting for me, counting on me?Which mission was more important—keeping the home fire burning or putting out the flames of war on the eastern front? Rescuing Melissa or rescuing his only child? For the first time in his life, he honestly couldn’t decide.

MY REVIEW:

4 Stars!

I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, grief, pain, secrets, and heartbreak.

This
is Melissa and Tucker’s story. Tucker wants Melissa but she is
resisting him. She does not want to end up just another woman for him
that he can bed and forget about. She had real love with her husband
before she lost him and would love that again. But what happens when you
just can’t resist any longer? With them rushing into danger is this the
right time to be exploring anything? He needs help and she does not
want to be taken for granted.

I loved these characters and also
the side characters. I felt I was able to connect with the characters
and the story was a great read.

I recommend this book.

For now. The wife of one handsome husband and mother of three perfect sons, Irish divides her time between writing at home, and traveling the country with her man while – writing.
